Chippewa Valley was on the verge of being blown out of its season opener, but senior linebacker/tight end Marcel Lewis would not stand for it.
After falling behind 7-0 less than four minutes into the game, Chippewa Valley handed Saline the ball on the Big Reds' 35-yard line.
This is a Saline team that had lost only four regular season home games in Joe Palka’s six years as head coach. But all the Hornets could muster was a field goal.
On its next possession Saline had a first down at Chippewa Valley’s 5-yard line, but again the defense stiffened and saline settled for a field goal.
